Thinking of a new truck.. - 07.02.2005, 07:44 PM

Well I have my T3, its almost fully hopped up, very durable truck (http://home.btconnect.com/rtsbasic/pictures/). But I want more, the car has a couple of weak points (rear shock tower, front upper plate) where I eat parts when I start doing the stupid stuff..jumping over my garage, onto/off roofs of small buildings, BMX track etc. I also want more speed, on 7 cells its coming on 40mph and 8 cells it'll pull 50mph off.

So my point of this post is I'm looking for a bigger truck, thats VERY durable, this is the biggest requirement, but also I want it to be faster/have more runtime than my T3 (it gets 5-10 mins when racing pending on the track layout/size).

What would you guys/gals recommend? How much more durable would an Emaxx be? I was thinking Emaxx + every RPM part + alloy in some areas. But I'm open to suggestions, cost is always a concern but I'm looking for the best durability wise and I know money talks.. For power I'm sorta limited to 14 cells (don't want to buy new batts yet). What sort of speeds/runtime do you think would be achievable with 14 cells? I don't want 35mph..if possible I would like the same speed my T3 can do, around 50mph. What would runtime be like with a system that can do that?

Sorry for all the questions but I figure you guys here know your stuff so best place to ask :) Cheers.
